A break from the showers to start the weekend

If you missed this sunset Tuesday evening, we'll have a similar one this evening. You can also see a time lapse of it on our CBS3 Springfield facebook page.

Our dew points will remain in the mid 60s through Wednesday night. Expect some pop up showers or a thunderstorm this afternoon amongst hazy sun and clouds. Some isolated pop up showers are likely on Thursday afternoon as well.

After that, an area of high pressure from Canada builds in and returns comfortable air to the area to start the holiday weekend. It doesn't last as humid air returns later Saturday into Sunday with dew point temperatures near 70 again.

Today: Hazy sun with p.m. showers and storms likely. Humid, high near 85.
